Current Dungeons and Dragons game.
15 years ago
In the not too distant future, a long forgotten artifact has forever changed the world. Pandora's Box, told about in legends since before time was recorded, has reappeared. Dug from the forgotten corner it was cast in by a greedy archeologist and a soured woman. Brought to New York city and then opened, it unleashed magic not seen in this world since the Industrial Revolution.
Each Age of man, each era distinguished from each other so easily in our stories, were touched by the Box in some way. The Byzantine Empire, The Egyptians, The Dark Age, the Renaissance, World War 2, and others. Each changed the world forever and at each turn, Pandora's metal curse could be found.
Now the horrors of ages past have been unleashed once again. Gryphons fly over the streets of New York. Dragons are torching London. The Jabberwocky once again roams the shadows of Greece. There's even a few Minotaurs roaming the cubical mazes of the world. People are dieing by the thousands for the greed of only a few.
But there is hope. A team of archeologists and a pair of spies have been given the tools to shut the box again. Gems, containing the knowledge and skills of those who shut the box in ages past, have been given to each of them. Now, thrust into an apocalyptic nightmare complete with monsters and given a mission that most would call insane... will they be able to seal Pandora's Box again? Or will their new power prove too much of a temptation to give up?
Just a teaser trailer for the game I'm currently playing in on Fridays. it's such a good concept that I couldn't NOT share it. We're only a few sessions in but it's already shaping up to be a fun game.
<.< I'm currently trying to convince everyone Not to invade the New York Museum of Art in search of newly re-magical weapons. King Tut is there right now... and I'm sure he's gonna be pretty pissed to be awake again. Especially now that researchers have discovered his penis was stolen at some point in the past. >.>

OP
Yeah it is! Best part... I'm playing an Indiana Jones loving archeologist. Fedora, whip and revolver! XD There's been a lot of jokes at my expense so far.
